Abstract
The main advantage of the system also will be its ability to decouple the weight/mass carrying function from the forward motion function. This will release joint motors from supporting the weight of the user and provide just forward motion of the legs. Consequently, this will reduce the power and size of joint motors and thus the overall weight, cost and required electrical power for the system. Such lighter and cheaper devices are currently the main focus of an important engineering research area in medicine and military medicine
